Ahhh, now that does make sense.

Thank you for clarifying what the problem was, I know see why handing out sub-forum mod powers is a no-no at this time. Have the boys over at Phpbb-City got back to you or acknowledged your question to them yet?

@Yeti: Yes yes, "No Yuo!!!" I've heard it all before. Please quit the petty aspersion casting, it's really not helping anybody. I'm not here to have some childish back-and-forth with you, I'm here to sensibly discuss the proposal that this thread is all about. If you insist on flaming then take it to FW, otherwise simmer down.

Unfortunately not at the moment. I checked and there is no current mod available or in development, but I submitted a mod request. But this mod request has yet to be answered by anyone of course.

This would be great! Mods of each clan could then "clean up old posts and stickies and deal with there members likes and dislikes within the user group much more efficiently. This has been a topic for some time in xiGAMES.

yes......I agree with my XI brother....I'm currently trying to clean up our forum a bit, and it's frustrating not being able to get the originator to "unsticky" old/unrequired posts...this change would make life much simpler.

I am nearly 100% certain the ability already exists, just not in the exact fashion that Lack or Twill wants it to, and that is why we don't have powers in our usergroups. It isn't necessarily that a MOD needs to be written.

It is, in fact, necessary that a MOD be written, there is no way to give someone moderator permissions without giving them permissions to view the moderator logs, unless logs are disabled for all moderators.
